Chapter 816:Shameless Conspiracy
"What's going on here? There's something wrong with Hongzhuang's pill furnace?"
Zhan Yunfeng's expression changed, she didn't understand how such a problem could occur if the pill was refined well.
Xia Zhiqing and others felt a sudden tension. During this critical process of alchemy, if there was a problem with the alchemy furnace wouldn't the elixirs that were about to be successfully refined also be ruined?
"Haha, how can a cultivator's alchemy be good? It's funny that the furnace is going to blow up!"
!!
The cultivators of Lingyin Academy laughed mercilessly. The explosion of a furnace could only be caused by the lack of skill of the pill refiner.
"Baili Hongzhuang dares to participate in the alchemy competition with such a level of skill, isn't it deliberately creating an amusement for us?"
"I'm afraid Canglan Academy will be disgraced now. The first two rounds are equal to this third round and she can't even make medicinal pills."
After Xia Zhiqing heard the conversations of the people around her, her face could not help but become ugly, and she immediately wanted to argue with them, but Cui Haoyan stopped her.
There are so many people in Lingyin Academy, she wouldn't be able to win and it would just be a waste of time.
Seeing this, Xia Zhiqing's face was still filled with indignation, and she could only hold it in.
She believed that this definitely was not caused by Hongzhuang, someone must have done something to this pill furnace!
Huan Chuyou's face turned gloomy, it was absolutely impossible for this pill furnace to be unable to withstand the temperature of the second rank pill, and the only explanation was that someone had tampered with Baili Hongzhuang's pill furnace.
Before Huan Chuyou could speak, Chu Jiyou was the first to say, "Principal Jian, Baili Hongzhuang's pill furnace has been tampered with, this competition is not fair!"
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Jian Qingqiu's eyes, "Tampered with? How is this possible?" But none of them could believe that this matter had nothing to do with Jian Qingqiu!
This is Lingyin Academy, and this pill furnace was also supplied by Lingyin Academy. Who would believe that it had nothing to do with Jian Qingqiu?
"Principal Jian, it is too much for someone to deal with this type of situation." Huan Chuyou said with a cold face.
If this change hadn't happened, Baili Hongzhuang, who was in first place in the alchemy competition at that time, would have been destroyed by the opponent's actions.
As the vice president of Canglan Academy, how could he bear it?
Compared with Huan Chuyou's rage, Jian Qingqiu looked a little calmer, and deliberately put an apologetic look on his face.
"I don't know anything about this. Elder Huan, don't worry, I will definitely investigate! However, let's wait until the end of this alchemy competition to find the cause. It is not appropriate to leave the table now.
As Jian Qingqiu's voice fell, Huan Chuyou's face became even more ugly.
Jian Qingqiu's meaning was very clear. He will find out who did it, but only after the alchemy competition is over when the outcome has already been decided.
By then, even if Jian Qingqiu casually prevaricated behind-the-scenes, what would be the point?
Everyone focuses on the final result. No one would care much about this conspiracy. This is equivalent to making Canglan Academy suffer a loss in silence!
However, what Jian Qingqiu said also irrefutable. Because they found out too late, it was impossible to repeat the alchemy competition!
Chapter 817: BaiJingtian Helps
Chu Jiyou's heart sank slightly and there was a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
They didn't expect that Baili Hongzhuang would be targeted like this. Now that it was the last competition, it could be seen from Jian Qingqiu's attitude that he would never in a hundred years declare the third competition invalid because of this.
As a result, Canglan Academy can only suffer from this loss in silence.
Even if they all feel that Canglan Academy is wronged, this is often the reality.
!!
It is not that they have never encountered such a situation. Competition is competition, and many people have lost due to such conspiracies.
It's just that they didn't expect Lingyin Academy to be so bold. Even though they knew what was going on, they had no proof.
Huan Chuyou tightly clenched his fists. The current situation made him feel so powerless.
In fact, Canglan's situation has been like this for years. Without strength, there is no ability to refute.
Canglan Academy does not have enough clout among the three academies, otherwise Lingyin Academy would not dare to be so blatant!
It's nothing for him to bear this, but letting the students endure such an unfair attitude because of the powerlessness of the Academy, how can he face Baili Hongzhuang!
Both Jian Qingqiu and Cang Hongxi didn't care. This world has always been like this, where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive.
With the current status of Canglan Academy, they have no right to speak. Even if they are wronged, what could they do?
"Elder Huan, think about it."
Lin Hao patted Huan Chuyou on the shoulder. In this situation, they had no choice.
Although Bai Jingtian had always hoped that Baili Hongzhuang would not be taken too seriously by the people of the Alchemist Guild, he could not bear to see such Lingyin Academy's attitude any longer.
Baili Hongzhuang was a junior he greatly admired, how could he watch Baili Hongzhuang suffer such injustice?
"Since someone has tampered with Baili Hongzhuang's pill furnace, it proves that this competition is unfair, and it is natural to redo the competition.
Otherwise, if the framed person can only suffer from the loss, then in my opinion, in the future Academy exchange competitions, there is no need for real strength. Just think of ways to eliminate your opponents.
Principal Jian, is this the purpose of the alchemy competition held by your Lingyin Academy?"
Bai Jingtian was unceremonious as he didn't regularly have much intersection with Lingyin Academy, and he didn't need bow down to Lingyin Academy. Since he couldn't stand it, he would be blunt.
As Bai Jingtian's voice fell, Jian Qingqiu was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why Bai Jingtian would suddenly speak up for Huan Chuyou.
"Yes, if it's not fair, let's compete again, otherwise the champion of this alchemy competition will be questionable." Ji Yunmo also said.
Baili Hongzhuang helped him solve a problem that he had never been able to comprehend. He hadn't had a chance to thank Baili Hongzhuang. Now that something like this happened, how could he keep silent?
Although Qin Qingwu did not speak, he nodded in agreement.
This is why he didn't like dealing with people like Jian Qingqiu. These people never value the truth, and they use trickery behind the scenes.
With his personality, he didn't know how many things he missed when he communicated with Jian Qingqiu and others, but this time, Lingyin Academy had gone too far!
Jian Qingqiu was dumbfounded, what is happening?
Chapter 818: Whodid it?
It stands to reason that since Bai Jingtian and the others have no friendship with Huan Chuyou they should not be helping him like this.
Could it be that... Bai Jingtian and the others are just plain blind?
Thinking of this, Jian Qingqiu was speechless for a while. He only felt that Bai Jingtian and others had been absorbed in their research and did not know how to adapt at all. They were completely stubborn.
The people present are all discerning people, and no one is unclear about what is going on here.
!!
The members of the Alchemist Guild had not spoken up, but the Inscription Guild master had acted as a righteous person. Is this not finding trouble?
Huan Chuyou also didn't expect that Bai Jingtian and the others who they had only met for the first time would speak up for Canglan Academy and couldn't help but feel moved.
Jian Qingqiu and Lin Yinghao looked at each other. This was really a dilemma. Had they known this would happen they would not have invited Bai Jingtian and the others up.
In this way, there wouldn't have been such a mishap.
Obviously, regret is useless. After thinking for a moment, Jian Qingqiu said, "Let's take a look first."
Baili Hongzhuang's expression had changed the moment she felt that the furnace was going to blow up. Before starting the alchemy, she had already checked the pill furnace and only started refining after confirming that the pill furnace was fine.
It's just that she didn't expect the other party to hide his tampering such that she didn't feel the slightest problem, and it only appeared at the last moment.
Ordinary people would not know how to do this and the only person who would know this trick is an alchemist.
Almost immediately, Baili Hongzhuang knew that this must be the work of Wei Hanyun.
No wonder Wei Hanyun didn't say anything after suffering a loss in the previous round. He had already determined the result of this round.
Thinking of this, a fierce look appeared in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes. She had always been someone who took revenge, and this matter would not be forgotten!
Wei Hanyun's eyes lit up with pride, the explosion of a furnace is a very dangerous thing. If Baili Hongzhuang does not retreat immediately, the aftermath of the explosion would affect Baili Hongzhuang, likely causing a serious injury.
However, once Baili Hongzhuang retreats, her medicinal pill will also turn into ashes!
Boom!
An explosion sounded, Baili Hongzhuang's figure flew quickly, and Liu Qinyue and the others also stepped back a few steps, avoiding the power of the explosion.
Liu Qinyue's face was very ugly. This situation exceeded all of their expectations. The pills refined by Baili Hongzhuang were completely useless.
In the end, this alchemy competition was lost.
The smile on Wei Hanyun's face became brighter and more arrogant, "Baili Hongzhuang, no matter how you pretend to be extraordinary, your refinement of pills still fails. Cultivators should do the things that cultivators do well, and as for the alchemists' affairs, you should stay out of it!"
Chu Jiyou and the others also sighed, this is the result after all, ah.
Wei Hanyun held his head high. He would take first place in this alchemy competition and his reputation will spread far and wide!
Baili Hongzhuang is just a stepping stone for him!
The expressions of Xia Zhiqing and the others changed one after the other, and they exploded in anger. This had never happened in previous alchemy competitions.
"Damn it! As I see it, in all probability this Wei Hanyun is the one who tampered with Hongzhuang's pill furnace!", Bai Junyu's eyes burned with anger.
"I knew from the first moment I saw this guy that he was no good!"
Chapter 819: ThisGirl is Incredible!
The cultivators of Beihai Academy cheered, this round of victory belongs to them!
Under the high platform, Gu Yaoyi, who was originally in a depressed mood, also smiled with joy after seeing this scene.
Even though her performance in the alchemy competition was unsatisfactory, Wei Hanyun won and Beihai Academy won so she was also proud.
Although the practitioners of Lingyin Academy knew that they were at the bottom, they were still happy, because the victory did not belong to Canglan Academy!
!!
Just as Wei Hanyun was happily waiting for the alchemist judge to decide that he was first in the alchemy competition, Baili Hongzhuang's cold voice rang out.
"Wei Hanyun, it's too early for you to be happy."
Hearing this, Wei Hanyun couldn't help being startled, but the smile at the corner of his mouth did not change. "Baili Hongzhuang what qualifications do you have to say such things to me as someone who hasn't even succeeded in refining a pill?"
"Hongzhuang, you!", Liu Qinyue couldn't help but exclaim after seeing Baili Hongzhuang's situation. Her clear water-like eyes flashed with a strong color of incredulity, this was really unbelievable.
The reason was that Baili Hongzhuang's hand was burning with flames, and in the middle of the flames, a round and full pill was in it.
When Wei Hanyun saw the pill in Baili Hongzhuang's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, this... how could this be possible?
The pill furnace had already been blown up, but Baili Hongzhuang was able to save the pill. This was absolutely impossible!
However, Baili Hongzhuang had confidence that nothing is impossible.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes rippled with cold light, it was not that simple for Wei Hanyun to use such tactics to defeat her.
One second before the explosion of the pill furnace, she took the pill out from it. Even she was not absolutely confident.
The temperature of the pill before it is baked is critical. Without the pill furnace, she can only use the flame to achieve this temperature.
Fortunately, she succeeded!
What qualifications does a despicable guy like Wei Hanyun have to take first place in the alchemy competition?
She will not let such a despicable villain succeed!
Everyone present was stunned, staring blankly at the flame in Baili Hongzhuang's hand. It was unbelievable!
Chu Jiyou and others also widened their eyes, Baili Hongzhuang's move really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Even they may not be able to save the pill before the furnace explodes, but Baili Hongzhuang did it.
This alone was enough to prove how terrifying Baili Hongzhuang's control over the flame is.
"This girl is unbelievable."
A smile appeared on Chu Jiyou's face. With this level of control of the fire, she had to sigh at Baili Hongzhuang's accomplishments in alchemy.
Canglan Academy has produced another genius pill refiner this time, and the extent of the surprise is the most they have seen in years!
Huan Chuyou was also surprised at the sudden good news, Baili Hongzhuang's performance could only be described as perfect.
The three including Bai Jingtian looked at each other. They didn't expect this girl to be so accomplished in alchemy that even they had to marvel at it.
Jian Qingqiu, Lin Yinghao, and Cang Hongxi were the ones with the most ugly faces. It took them so much effort yet they achieved this result. Baili Hongzhuang actually solved this predicament. Doesn't it mean that everything they did before was meaningless?
Chapter 820: TestResults
Under the shimmering golden sunlight, on top of the high platform, the woman in the white dress had a confident glow on her breathtaking and alluring face.
Without moving her mind or body, Baili Hongzhuang dampened the flame, and then put the pill into the white porcelain bottle.
Baili Hongzhuang shifted her gaze to look at Wei Hanyun, and an enchanting and charming smile lifted at the corners of her lips.
"Sorry, I ruined your plan."
!!
As Baili Hongzhuang's voice fell, Wei Hanyun's face became extremely ugly. Baili Hongzhuang's words were like a slap to the face.
He had calculated everything, but in the end he still lost to Baili Hongzhuang?
"Impossible. Even if your pill remains intact, the internal structure must have been destroyed!"
Wei Hanyun's eyes were filled with suspicion. He did not believe that Baili Hongzhuang could still salvage the pill under such circumstances.
Perhaps, Baili Hongzhuang just used this method to muddle through!
Baili Hongzhuang shrugged and looked at Wei Hanyun with more than a hint of pity in her eyes, "If that is what you think, you are destined for disappointment."
Maybe Wei Hanyun's schemes could hurt others, but she would not give Wei Hanyun the opportunity.
Baili Hongzhuang's hand shocked many people, and everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment as they couldn't believe what they saw.
"This Baili Hongzhuang is too powerful, this move is simply amazing!"
"This is the first time I have seen such a thrilling event. At her level, refining pills should not blow up the furnace, ah?"
As soon as those words were said, everyone who didn't already know the truth gradually understood. Baili Hongzhuang's pill furnace had been tampered with...
With the successful refining of Baili Hongzhuang's pill, the three including Chu Jiyou slowly walked to the four contestants, including Baili Hongzhuang.
Now that the last round of the competition ended, the final results would be decided by the three of them.
The judges walked up to Qi Junnan first and opened the white porcelain bottle on Qi Junnan's table.
"Second rank pill – Bone Cleansing Pill, the pill is round and color is uniform."
Hearing Chu Jiyou's words, a smile appeared on Qi Junnan's face, and he was quite satisfied with his performance today.
Everyone in Lingyin Academy applauded after hearing that Qi Junnan had achieved such a result today.
At Qi Junnan's age, being able to refine a second rank pill showed his unlimited future potential.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Jiyou and the other judges came to Liu Qinyue. After checking the pill refined by Liu Qinyue, a light of satisfaction appeared in Chu Jiyou's eyes.
They had always admired Liu Qinyue, who has an outstanding talent for alchemy.
"Second rank pill – Xuan Yuan Pill, the pill is round and the color is uniform."
Liu Qinyue showed a gentle smile. With her current strength, refining the Xuan Yuan Pill was already considered very good, as this one had the highest level among the pills she had mastered.
Qi Junnan already understood the difference between himself and Liu Qinyue when he heard that Liu Qinyue refined the Xuan Yuan Pill.
This time in the alchemy competition, he had taken a supporting role, and the victory had nothing to do with him.
When the three including Chu Jiyou looked at the Jade Condensing Pill that Wei Hanyun had refined confidently, a look of surprise also appeared in their eyes.
"Second rank medicinal pill – Jade Condensing Pill, the pill is round and color is uniform."
